Trouble Ahead

Dude, Where's My Bridge

MAR/16

Orders have been retrieved by the previous session. We are going to be moving the camp to establish the next supply depo, so we are sending you to scout out the route. Be careful, there are rumors of Ogres in the area, and there is a confirmed Orc Kingdom living further up the Lone Mountain. If you can fashion any kind of short cut, then you will be rewarded.

The problem:
3 days out, there is a large river. The road turns south, and maps show that the road crosses the river at a bridge some ways south. The trip around is estimated to take a week.

The Elf convinced them that he was not only a great and powerful wizard but also that he wasn’t actually an elf, but a foreign subspecies of human so that they would not eat him. Lying remains one of the best superpowers in D&D. Also, I learned that they use colorful cloth as part of their economy.
